In addition to part I (General Handout for all courses appended to the time table) this portion gives further
specific details regarding the course.
This course is intended to a comprehensive knowledge of the technology related to Mechatronics and Automation. The
necessity of integrating and embedding electronics and microprocessor into mechanical systems have been long felt, due
to rapid progress in microprocessor computer based technology, in domestic products to manufacturing systems.
Mechatronics is a recently defined engineering field that builds on the traditional mechanical engineering studies,
combines it with technologies from the electrical, electronics, computer and control fields, using techniques such as
simultaneous engineering to provide solutions in manufacturing applications. Also, mechatronics has been applied to
manufacturing and other industrial automation: robotic automation found in car automated production lines, such as
welding, and assembly line in computer integrated manufacture etc. Thus, the manufacturing system is greatly enhanced
by the application of mechatronics. This course will develop overall background of the student in interdisciplinary
mechatronic technology and a broad introduction to the issues encountered and techniques required in developing
mechatronic products and automation systems.
